Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1806 N Karlov Ave in Hermosa, owned by Porfirio Anaya, has been standing since 1893. The property has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with just one building code violation and seven service requests filed through the city's 311 system. The sole building code violation, recorded in April 2025, was permit-related and has since been resolved. The 311 service requests reveal some ongoing concerns about waste management and pest control in the vicinity, with three garbage-related complaints (including missed pick-ups in July 2024 and garbage cart maintenance in February 2026) and two reported rodent issues (in June and August 2024). The building has also experienced minor maintenance issues, including a tree trimming request in February 2025 and a graffiti removal request in January 2025, both of which have been closed. While the frequency of service requests suggests some moderate property maintenance challenges in the area, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been officially closed, indicating compliance with resolution requirements.

Risk rating

How 1806 N Karlov Ave 1's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
